The Spirit of '69 and our Day of Action

[Pericardinho]

So you held a protest in December 2024 motivated by the presence of Austin who joined the Board in 2015 under Lee Power, who Clem tried to appoint as Vice Chair in 2021, and now isn't on the board, owns no shares and holds no position at the club?

Timing is a bit odd TBH?

I'd bet £100 that at least half of your orange battered brethren have no idea who Austin is.

I can't comprehend how people like you actually exist.

Have you been living under a rock?

It's scary there's fans like you. Genuinely. Your type are a threat to the future of our football club. You'd happily let it die.

Unfortunately you are right, there are possibly 50% (or higher } long standing and loyal STFC supporters would not have a clue of what is happening behind the scenes at the club. And these supporters possibly don't want to know either. They go to the football for the enjoyment of football and get away for the pressures of day to day living.
Like you I have supported the club through many periods of ups and downs dating back to 1963.
My questions to you would be..

1/ Should the supporters who are aware of the "goings on" try to inform the less informed ?.
2/ In your opinion should we allow people like the current owners take advantage of the loyal  fans of the club for their financial gains ?

Will be Interesting to see your reply.

Timing is spot on. As demonstrated 500 last home game.

if you followed the club you'd have seen there was an attempted protest last year that failed.

Of course the protest has come about now, in part due to the dire results over the last couple of years and our downward trajectory. Results make people question the ownership. Fans dig a little deeper as to who is involved.
It ain't rocket science. If you don't know the full facts then don't bother sticking your oar in.

If I Google Spirit of 69 I get swamped with pages related to the anti racist skinhead movement. Might have been worth the campaign doing that before they went with the name because it means their on line visability is for shit.

These people have launched a campaign to drive the owner out of their club. I assumed that meant there was a coherent  list of  issues and demands that was relatively easy to access.

It's kind of where most people would start a campaign. If that exists just point me at it.

Did you try 'Spirit of 69 Swindon' Or did that not occur to you to try?

Like, are you trying to be an idiot here?

Lets do it together shall we

Oh look, the first is a link to a podcast that explains everything.

The second is an adver article.

You're either just happy being an ignorant twat or you're trying to get a rise out of people. Possibly both true here.

Good job dickhead.

It's pretty clear they're making a fuss for the sake of it. They aren't stupid.

I'd understand and respect arguing reasons against protesting, even if I don't agree with them. This is a Facebook group special though.

Dalumpimunki,

Some notes in response to your comments.

- We have zero interest in convincing people or changing people's mind. We serve to highlight the gross managed decline and operational negligence conducted by Mr Morfuni, and to bring people of similar opinions together.

- If you're happy with the direction of travel of our club, both on and of field, under Mr Morfuni then we respect that. Keep backing the team, as we are, and maybe we'll even be lucky enough to avoid back-to-back record low finishes. Ignorance is bliss; I wish I was able to blindly watch STFC without caring about the long-term health of our community asset.

- If you're interested in educating yourself about our message, then there are plenty of resources. If you're not, that's ok, but respectfully, don't then pick holes in something you're not willing to learn about.

- If you did spend a single second learning about us, you'd know we don't have a list of demands, and never will. We are a single-issue fan-action group; our only demand is Mr Morfuni takes accountability for the consistent and systemic incompetence, and publicly lists the club for sale, allowing someone capable of running a football club to take over.

See you in orange on February 8.

The ironic thing is that we get a few good results and the SO69 group get people coming out against them accusing them of protesting only about results, yet it's these guys that wait until we get a few good results to start taking offense to the fact that the protests are happening.

There was a txt into BBC yesterday that was read out that said "stick that 3 points in your Orange hats you paper fans" not only does this make zero sense whatsoever, but i don't get the mentality of throwing insults at a different group of fans that want the same thing, just have a different opinion of how to go about it.

If you don't support the protest and are happy being run in the way that we have been for the past few years that has seen consistent decline in quality of everyting at the club off the pitch (which has led to the decline in quality on the pitch, and therefore our position in the pyramid) then that's fine, but why do you feel the need to throw insults out to another group of fans that have a different opinion to you?

It's just all a bit of a weird mentality in my eyes - don't get it.  Why are you even commenting on a thread about the SO69 if you have no interest in supporting it or looking into the reasons for the protest?  If you genuinely don't know and are just looking for reasons to throw rocks, just crawl back under the rock, i am sure it is a really nice quiet comfortable place, and will remain to be so when we end up in the NL.

I think a number of 'fans' are stuck in a 2021 time warp, thinking Clem is their best mate 

[iParadise]

It's truly bizarre. A couple of wins and all of a sudden everything's perfect.

Ive seen fans predicting a play off charge and ‘something special is being built’

Most of his fans are 70 plus old blokes that like that he poured a few pints and shook a few hands when he came in and utterly clueless on anything since, mixed with being a bit dim.

Guessing this is another of the same.

Yeah......whilst yesterday was fun and great to win, lets not get too carried away on building that statue for Clem just yet.

Being well over seventy I respectfully object to being encompassed by the above generality!
